Spring is tax season. It’s also lacrosse season, which means mother-of-four Pam Oden hasn’t had time to file her taxes yet. With her two sons on separate lacrosse teams, her husband coaching another, a 2-year-old in tow and another daughter, Oden has been busy.
But this year, Oden has an extra three days to get her taxes done, something the busy mom and Erie real estate agent said she appreciates.
“It’s procrastination, for the most part,” she said. “I have Saturday off. I will spend the entire day in front of the computer doing everything I can to get a dime back from the state.”
Oden will have until Monday to finish her tax returns. Because a Washington, D.C., holiday — Emancipation Day — falls on Saturday, April 16 this year, the federal government is observing it on Friday. That pushed the standard federal tax return deadline of April 15 to the next weekday — Monday, April 18.
The Colorado Department of Revenue also moved its deadline to Monday, however returns filed on Tuesday will be considered four days late, according to the group’s website.
